Hello,

I believe this is currently being worked on by one of our users. Who else would like to see a MODBUS Slave component as part of the Flowcode offering?

i want to explain one more time who is not use mode bus or don't know modbus.
Modbus is a wonderfull protocol have a long distance.Useing RS485 protocol.
Normally PLC machines used much.If you want to build small components as a slave of an PLC system you will need modbus slave functions.
Some of the flowcode users build this with rs 232 functions i really don't know is it working or not.
The way is soo long and a little bit complex when you try to use RS485 protocol with RS232.
One day all of flowcode users will need this slave component in his or her project.
Please support me :)
i bleave that benj can do this like a toy :P
but me :( it's complicated.Thats why i need modbus slave component.

Hello

Here is the current version of my MODBUS slave FLOWCODE components.

Everything starts with MODBUS_master_requesting component.... So after you receive data to UART you will call that macro.

This version is working fine with industrial Touch panels. Master writing multiple INTs command is not complete, because i havent needed it so far :)

Dear Matrix team,

Yes, the Modbus RTU slave component will be a great addition. Kindly consider including this as one of the priorities.

Thanks in advance.

I have just checked and macros posted are for Flowcode V5.
That is why you're having trouble importing.
The only way you can do this is to import into a Flowcode V5, save flowchart then load Flowchart V6 with the V5 saved flowchart.
I have done this for you but not all macros are there.
You will need to add a send macro etc.

I Agree this would be nice addition to flowcode ,

Would it be possible to have selectable baud rates , selectable parity's

Hello,

Ok in PatchSet 4 the Modbus component should be complete and should work correctly. I'm a bit unsure as the guide I was following sent the data MSB first but then sent the CRC LSB first so might be a few remaining issues to iron out.

If anyone tries the component with Modbus hardware then let me know how your getting on and I will do my best to help out.

Modbus slave component would also be a nice feature so I will make sure it is on the list.
hmmmm benj also supporting me too :twisted:
there is nothing to afraid if benj is behind me :mrgreen:
you can escape but you can't hide :lol:
come on..... you also know this will be a great feature for flowcode
We can build small parts for big systems. (one of my dream)
